Orthopedics
This type of fracture occurs when a tendon or ligament pulls off a piece of bone, commonly seen in young athletes.
What is an avulsion fracture?
This ventilatory measure, often used in patients with chronic lung disease, represents the maximum amount of air that can be forcibly exhaled after a deep inhalation.
What is the forced vital capacity (FVC)?
This term refers to the inward rolling of the foot, often corrected with orthotics.
What is pronation?
This principle of rehabilitation emphasizes progressively increasing the intensity of training while allowing adequate time for tissue adaptation.
What is the principle of progressive overload?
This resistance training protocol involves performing repetitions to failure with progressively decreasing weight, often used to maximize hypertrophy.
What is a drop set protocol?
This classification system is used to describe growth plate fractures in pediatric patients, helping guide treatment and prognosis.
What is the Salter-Harris classification?
This condition, often seen in heart failure patients, is characterized by cyclic fluctuations in breathing with periods of hyperpnea followed by apnea.
What is Cheyne-Stokes respiration?
This medical device, commonly used for foot drop, helps maintain ankle dorsiflexion during walking.
What is an ankle-foot orthosis (AFO)?
This biomechanical factor is considered a major predictor of ACL injuries, often measured using 3D motion capture during landing tasks.
What is knee valgus angle?
This high-intensity exercise method consists of short bursts of maximal effort followed by brief rest periods, commonly used to improve both aerobic and anaerobic fitness.
What is high-intensity interval training (HIIT)?
This test is used to diagnose a tear in the hip labrum by placing the hip in different positions to reproduce pain.
What is the FADIR test (Flexion-Adduction-Internal Rotation test)?
his breathing pattern, commonly seen in severe metabolic acidosis, is characterized by deep, rapid breaths as the body attempts to eliminate excess CO2.
What is Kussmaul breathing?
This specialized brace is commonly prescribed for scoliosis treatment in growing children to help control spinal curvature progression.
What is a Boston brace?
This physiological adaptation, seen in endurance athletes, results in an increased left ventricular mass and enhanced stroke volume.
What is athlete’s heart?
a minimum of 150 min of moderate-intensity or 75 min of vigorous-intensity physical activity per week, accumulated in bouts of 10 min or more
What is diabetes?
This surgical procedure, often performed in cases of severe osteoarthritis, removes the damaged joint surface and replaces it with a prosthetic implant.
What is a total joint arthroplasty?
This condition, often occurring after prolonged bed rest or severe cardiopulmonary disease, is characterized by an excessive drop in blood pressure upon standing.
What is orthostatic hypotension?
This type of foot orthosis is designed to limit excessive pronation and support the medial longitudinal arch.
What is a medial wedge orthotic?
This condition, commonly seen in long-distance runners, results from excessive traction of the periosteum along the tibia, leading to medial tibial pain.
What is medial tibial stress syndrome (shin splints)?
Based on the flexor tendon repair protocol, in which week do you initiate active, non-resistive digital flexion and extension in all three fist positions with wrist extended.
What is week 4?
This specialized orthopedic test helps assess for anterior shoulder instability by applying downward pressure on the humerus while the arm is abducted.
What is the Sulcus sign test?
This cardiopulmonary condition, often seen in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) patients, results from increased pulmonary artery pressure leading to right ventricular hypertrophy and heart failure.
What is cor pulmonale?
This orthotic intervention, designed for children with cerebral palsy, helps improve ankle dorsiflexion and prevent toe walking.
What is a dynamic ankle-foot orthosis (DAFO)?
This commonly used functional test evaluates lower extremity power and asymmetry by measuring how far an athlete can jump forward on one leg.
What is the single-leg hop test?
Based on the Achilles Tendon Repair protocol, in this phase/weeks, you restore full range of motion including DF
What is Phase 3/Week 7-8?
